The Hidden Half is the name given to all the parts of Arda below the edge of the world, where all that existed were the Mar-talmar and the lowermost regions of Vaiya and the airs of Ilmen. The Mountains of the West and East prevented anyone from finding the Hidden Half of the world.[1]
Vaiya forms a sea in the Hidden Half on which the world "floats". Ulmo's house, Ulmonan, is in Vaiya, beneath the Mar-talmar.[2]
